==== Description: ====
Techne is a programmable physical simulator and renderer.  It reads in a set
of scripts wherein every aspect of a physical system is specified and then
proceeds to simulate and render the system onscreen.  This is the general
idea.  The main goal is to decouple computer programming, in its involved
low-level form at least, from digital art creation thus shifting effort away
from worrying about graphics library quirks and memory allocation and towards
understanding and modelling the physical and aesthetic aspects of a given
system.  This is not enough in itself though.  It's of no use if you have to
recreate the underlying framework for each separate task. The secondary goal
therefore is to design the system in such a way that new features, for
instance physical models or shading algorithms, can be added and accumulated
seamlessly, implemented with the least possible assumptions about their
intended use so that they may be reused in diverse situations. 

Techne itself is written in Objective C and uses Lua as an interface
language.
